since you said poll but didn't have a poll, I added one for you, Daniel. If this is not what you wanted, I could easily remove it also. Good discussion, both are very fast cars, I'd love to see a video from this upcoming encounter!

This will actually be decided in a few ways. The G8 King trophy will go to the quickest ET during 2 specific qualifying runs. At some point, either before or after that, Dan and I will line up next to each other for at least one heads-up pass. This can happen on any run except the first one. My first run off the trailer is always a warm-up not run at full power.

The G8 record, of course, can be taken on any run and will count win, lose or draw regardless of the car in the other lane. I'd venture to say that the record will fall several times before the day is out.

All it takes is for this Century transmission to let go and I will have them put in a Glide or T400 with a transbrake. This is a DD so I really dont want to but if the 6l80 cant handle it then we will do what we need to.

Theres something to be said about a guy who's willing to break (or fix her to keep going) fast! If Daniel wasn't pushing the envelope so to speak would others be as willing to push theirs? There has to be a goal or something to best and right now its him.

By years end Im sure there will be a few 9 sec sedans and thats awesome so good luck to everyone who pushes their cars regardless of the make be safe out there fellas and make videos for those of us who cant be there to see it unfold.

A full manual 4L80 is available so you can retain lockup and overdrive. Pretty stout piece that is the best of both worlds. But really the TH-400 isnt that bad on the street. I can cruise at 3k RPM with 3.70 gears (only 3-400RPM over my 3.45's) and get 19-20MPG even with a 454 and unlocked converter.
